Cross-Street search tool

doronwen — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 13:45:20 GMT

I have a client that want to search locations on a map using cross streets data.

Example: we have an incident on 66th street and Main ave. Please check if we have assets near by; and if we do which assets might be impacted.

Experience Builder provides the options to add a Search tool to your map widget which allow users to search by street addresses, but it's very clunky and not very accurate when it comes to cross streets.

Is there a better tool out there that we can use for searching cross streets?

We're using ArcGIS Enterprise 11.3

This is a problem that you can fix mostly outside Experience Builder by creating a custom geolocator service.

Use ArcGIS Pro to make a custom geolocator. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/geocoding/introduction-to-custom-locators.htm
Make it a service in your Enterprise environment.
Set the service in one of your organizational defaults and it will automatically appear in the Search Map Tool or you can select it as an option using the Search Widget without setting it as an organizational default.

I found this thread: Building Cross Street Data Into Geocoding Locators on Esri community. It looks like it describes a similar process to what you are suggesting. But TBH, the process is a bit beyond my skill level.

I was hoping to find a tool similar to google maps, which finds cross street easily and accurately.

I have a procedure that I do for our cross streets. We do not use Locators for it.

Use link above to view our county web map. In the search box, type Byhalia Rd. Select Byhalia Rd and you will see another listing of all the cross roads with it. If you like this method, I can send you the procedure that I do.

That's a neat trick.

That might work. I sent you a separate message.

See this in ArcGIS Online

Or in your own Street Address role locators for the US made with Pro 3.6+
